I was skeptical about the combination of potatoes and tomatoes but it turned out pretty good. This dish has great flavor but it is a bit soupy. I doubled the basil, thyme and garlic. I also added seasoning salt in addition to salt and pepper. I also had to cook this an additional 20 minutes to get the potatoes cooked enough. When I make this again I will peel the tomatoes and let them dejuice a bit before adding them to the onion mixture. Thanks Kitten for another great side dish.
